a. .I'~ l r Y`' ,• ' •►,~, ~, .~; j*" 4,1% shock has been also felt throughout France— credit and confidence are shaken in every part of Europe. In the United States, the catastrophe has been universal in its operation on the mercan the part of the community, and the effect will unquestionably be felt, even in our remotest Asiatic possessions. The devastating effects of a con vulsion so universally felt, may justly lead to the inference, that at this era Great Britain must be considered as the central point--the very focus of commerce—and consequently exer cising an influence, of which history furnishes no example ! In the House of Commons last night, a genera - feeling was expressed, that the assistance already afforded by the Bank of England had produced symptoms of reviving confidence. Opinion—ol which confidence is mainly founded, may in deed be excited by the expectation of sa lutary relief by adiances from the Bank, bu we have no idea that they have yet been a any sufficient extent, and magnitude, to produce 74ffecting ex trication• • of the merchant or the ':,manufacturer. It appears by what fell from Mr. ntattssort,that the applications from Manchester, came under the consideration of the Bank Di rectors on Friday—those from Glasgow on Saturday, and from Leeds and other places, a the beginning of the present weelc. Relief ii seems, has not, to far as is yet known, bee required either by any eminent Merchants, Speculators, or Bankers. Master manufacturer , , holding unsaleable stocks, yet desirous of still giving employment to the manufacturing popula tion, have been the individuals to whom relie has principally been afforded. Certainly, no class of the community has stronger claims on the country for assistance. We extract the follow- log details of Continental distress, from the Ai ,ge►neine eAZeilung of the 2ci instant : BERLIN, FEL 21. Twenty stercnotile houses, among which are several of the first rank, have fallen here since the end of last year. A general consternation has arisen, by which, however, the evil is only rendered worse. No house any longer. has any credit ; al 'Money lent Is called in,* and even the deposits in the savings bank are eagerly withdrawn, though they are guaranteed by the city. For the'firsttime we see Merchants deaponding, who had hitherto- carried on a successful business. On our Exchange - yesterday;the bonds of the public (Stauka achuldecheine) fell • 'full 5 per .cent., as well as the English Loan; the first were quoted at 00, the second at 90. 'We have not 'had so great a fall for these eight years,: and it was hardly thought possible, as circumstances were, that there could be a farther decline. These expectations were, however, painfully disappointed on our Exchange to-day ; the bonds of the public debt opened at 70, and at the close of the day were unialeable at 78. The English loan fell- to 05, and bonds of the March and trandenburg could not be sold at 73. Even the oblige. tions of the Grand Duchy of Posen, which by the statutes are secured in the most ample manner, 11:11 6 per cent. in these two days, from 95 to 89. Vienna Metallique are indeed quoted to day in the prinled list at 05, but in fact they were at 82, and the Bank Shares quoted at 720, could not be sold at 700. — Every body enquires with astonishment what can be the cause of so great a decline, and nobody can assign any sufil. , tient reason. It cannot be the apprehension of a general war; for if, contrary to all probability, peace should be interrupted, a war, under present circumstances, would be partial, and of short duration. The cause seems to lie not in political, but in commercial relations. .The latter have been very different since the restoration of the general peace of Europe kom what they were in the preceding 2 5 years of war. This change of circumstances at home, and our disadvantageous position with respect to other .eountries, have led to the numerous bankruptcies which haVe 'destroyed all credit. Can private persons be blamed for calling in their money, when the brothers Benecke have failed for 1 400,000 Alollars ; Crellinger, forMerly firm contractor, for 1 ,100,000; and Reichenbaelt and Aleixner, for 3,000,000? FRANKFORT, Fan. 24. The examination of the affairs of the house of Crellinger, at Berlin, affords no very promising result to the creditors, who it appears are not likely to receive above 12 per cent. On the other hand, it is affirmed that the house of iteichenbach at Leipsig (whose branch establishments at Berlin and Alten burg have also stopped payment) proves that it is not actually insolvent, but is only at present unable to meet the pressure of ci rcumstances. A Committee of the chief merchants and bankers of Leipsig, has therefore been appointed to examine into the state of Its affairs. Should the result prove satisfactory, the house will resume its business, especially if it should prove true that the Ring of Saxony himself is inclined to support it: According to the latest accounts front Han:burgh, affairs seem 40 by settled there as well as can be expected in this general crisis. There was no scarcity of money, and large remittances of gold had even been made to London; for instance, a million b aneo by Steque and Co. There is scarcely a house or estate in the North of Ger. many on which there is not several mortgages: often ten or a' dozen small sums (1001. or 2001.), each of which has a prior claim to .those succeeding it. I n case of a depreciation of landed property, the mortgagees of the latter stuns take the alatm,.and demand . the payment of their capital. If the owner of the estate has not the money, and cannot find any other per son so advance it on the same security, he must sell the pro. Petty in a certain time. Should it not fetch the sum fur which it is mortgaged, the lowest on the list lose their money, nor , have they any claim on the purchaser. A Mail from Lisbon arrived in town this morn ing+ bringing Gazette, to the 28th of February. That of the 22d contains the answers of the Court of Rome, Copenhagen, Stockholm, anti Vienna, to the official notification of the lire ath recognizing the independence of Brazil. The Gazette of the 24th contains the answers of the Kings of Prance and Sardinia to the same communication.

As in all honour able warfare, a soon as victory is proclaimed there should be alt immediate., cesaation of all belligerent ibeling, so, we are per waded, it will be pre . -eminently on the present occasion ; and the two Honourable Gentlemen who have so manfully striven for the palm, (though, from the very nature of things ) one only could attain to it), will now have the pleasure of re fleeting that honour and love of country alike urged them on. Fortune having declared in favour of Mr. Br.t.t., we heartily with him health and prosperity in his new career. Indeed, he has only to follow in the footsteps of his late uncle to become as popular a Representive as ever sat within St. Stephen's walls. Although doomed to sustain a defeat where appearances at first promised so fair, we must say that the lion. Mr. Len- DELL'S character has been drawn out in a resplendent way at this Election, arid so as► to captivate all hearts ; even those who were most anxious for his rival's success, admit the gentle. manly demeanour and fascinating complacency which, in every thing, are his peculiar and shining characteristics. No sooner, however, is one election over, than all the prepa. rations are in progress for another.

The Director ordered out some, troops, which measure was disap , proved of by the Congress, and a misunderstanding between them was the result. The Director left the City, but returned next day, when the greatest number of the troops, and part of the Members of the Congress, joined, and gave him the pre dontinancy; the Congress was dissolved, a few individuals put in-prison, somc others banished, other Ministers, appointed, and peace restored. This occurrence may induce the Govern :tient to adopt more vigorous measures." ....

Some of the farmers chuckled at this, and seemed proud of the compli ' ment of being bound in caution for smith establishments as the Bank of Scotland, and the British Linen Company; but the public, we suspect, will regard the proceeding with a very fertnt feeling; and in this town there appears to be only one Opinion as to the examp l e set by Lord Mansfield.

EXTRAORDINARY CIIASE.—Lord PETRX, and the gentle. men of his hunt had an extraordinarygood day's sport on Thurs. day last, with his Second, but excellent pack. Ills hounds met at Woodham Ferris ' and after drawing two or three covers they proceeded to that of , New England, belonging to Mr. Trussell, where Topper presently unkennelled a brace of foxes. The sweet and anticipated harmony was soon in full chorus, and alter a ring or two in cover, a fine, strong, and gallant fox, as ever broke cover, appeared, and led them a chase of: 0 miles, Nio, nine' ,through sixteen pari s h es .

The horsemen were obliged to go to the bridges, and the, hounds alone w ent over the liver with a strong blewing wind. The fox was headed by plough. men, and a fresh fox was. hallooed by foot people, but 0 e hounds. were . steady to their work, and hung to the line of chase like glue, through Topping() large cover on to Colonel Strut:Cs park, by the gardens and plantations, still runni g down wind, but now in a good and well hunted country, which Replant seemed no stranger to, making the coves, and most difficult haunts, to evade his pursuers, but it wa s of no avail, the hounds in fine condition, and to() good to be shook W. Their hunting was beautiful, and the hits and work of Benedict, Dreadnought, and Delicate, a ere conspicuous during the day. On going through the great cover Prop, like shot, Nelson came forward, and took the lead, at a killing pace,. over a fine country, to the Green Dragon iirood, where Missal. lant lux first stopped for safety, and made a good deal of work for the hounds in that cover. He broke away again into Mr. Conyers' beautiful country; the old houuds were now high on their mettle, and it was in vain for a fox to contend with them; Heynard was also getting weak; they therefore soon run up .to • him, when he tucked short hack into tiubbin's.green grassy and swampy common. Here the scene was very interesting ; his Lordship, on his fine horse Favourite, very fresh, and th e rest o f fits stud in u condition fi t to set off again for another hi ; a few others also of light weight were tolerably f res h, h ut many that were up would have told a sad tale, it' the chase had not ended.

Joe seized on his prize, and cruise out with a conntenance fierce as a tiger, his face streaming with blood, its if he had b een d raw i ng n b adger, and welcomed his lairdship' s car w i t h the first wholloop.

At an early hour the boxes were well filled, and every seat in the pit was occupied. Three or !bur rounds of the most enthusiastic approbation greeted Mr, Weber on his entrance. He (lid not preside at the pianoforte, as it was reported he intended to do, hut merely stood in the-front of the stage, provided with a music dtak and a baton, tie mesur coo regulate the time of the performunces,—a task which. he performed with ex tmordinary earnestness. M. Von Weber is, in person, rather above the middle height, extremely thin, and of (lark complexion. His countenance, which is striking and in.:. telligent, appears to bear traces of profound study, rather than of vivid imagination ; but he wore glasses, which tended to conceal the expression of his eye, His deportment is gen. tletnanly and remarkably unassuming. The first part of the Oratorio consisted of a selection of the most admired pieces of thoPreirchni4, commencing with the overture, which was en thuttiastically encored. At the conclusion of the overture, and at the close of memo! of the pieces, M. Weber bowed In acknow. lodgment of his thanks to the performers, apparently anxious to transfer to them a portion of the vehement approbation which was so lavishly directed to himself. The first part of the oratorio closed amidst repeated cheers, and ,111. Von 'Weber, after re. with whom he shook p„ t a y bowing to tho audience. cordially shook hands with Sir G. Smart and Mr..
